iriverter install problem on linux
I bought my PMP-120 off eBay and got it about a week ago. I've been playing with it since, and gotten it connected nicely to my Linux box (my main PC - I don't do Windows!) I finally found Misticriver thanks to a friend, and started reading through the threads regarding the PMP-120. That's where I got turned on to iriverter. Shouldn't be a problem, right? Wrong. Sometimes installing things on Linux is elegantly simple, and other times it's agonizingly painful. This is one of those latter experiences!

I followed the instructions from their linux install page, and that includes the side trip into SWT. I *finally* - after a full reinstall of Linux because I totally bolloxed it up - got SWT installed. I think. I got iriverter to compile and install, but it won't run. All I get is the following error:

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Another question, maybe ShamrockMan can answer this - will any 1.8" hard drive do to replace the one in the PMP-120, or is/are there only one or two replacement types that fit?

Yes, I'm a geekette, so labels like "no user serviceable parts inside" are usually ignored by me. Heck, I usually only pause when a sign says something like, "HIGH VOLTAGE - CAUTION!" I've been building PCs for myself and others longer than I care to remember.

Thanks in advance!

I figured out my problem. After I had *correctly* installed swt, I then had to track down the previously compiled iriverter executable and delete it - forcing the makefile to recreate it. Once that was done, iriverter came up. Now to figure out the conversion process...

*grumble* *sputter* *cuss* After I finally got iriverter installed, it comes up and starts to look at the files or DVD - and hangs.

Is there *anyone* else out there using Linux who can help me untangle this ball of knots?

never tried iriverter on linux (I used to get occasional crashes/hangs on windows though), anyway have been using ffmpeg on linux to convert my vids off-late and it does the real good job and def. is way faster than iRiverter. You just might want to give it a shot:
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net

Okay, I downloaded and installed it. How does one actually *use* it?

Take a look at this FAQ:
http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/faq.html

ffmpeg doesn't have any GUI so all the ripping needs to be done at the terminal, here's an e.g. for using it:

$ ffmpeg -i input.avi -acodec mp3 -ab 128 -ar 44100 -ac 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -s cif -vtag xvid output.avi

(You can also set the video framerate and bitrate by using -r & -b switches).

PS: You need to have LAME libraries installed to rip the audio in mp3.

ffmpeg could be a little tricky to get used to in the beginning but is extremely powerful once you are comfortable with it, allowing you to convert even flash videos and just extracting the audio from a video file etc.

HTH

PS: ffmpeg bundled with Ubuntu distro is crippled and you'll need to uninstall and compile it from source or get a deb. package which has support for LAME libraries enabled.

Thanks. I've sent your message to my email, and I'll investigate when I get up this afternoon.

Unhappy
I still haven't really played with it yet. I'm almost to the point where I'm thinking about putting Windows back on my PC just so I can properly get music, tv shows, and movies down to my iRiver. *shudder* That thought gives me hives. Me? Go back to Windows??? *shakes head and wanders off*
